The second opinion poll ended too!This month 8 people answered the question!:-DLet's see the results of this battle, fought with clicking mice...The question was "What's better?" .We need to give a 1% , as a gift, to the only answer that people didn't read even by mistake: "Manage to sneeze, after your nose itched for two hours"... How come?! Doesn't anyone know how beautiful it can be??? Sob sob!:'(A brave 12% , only voice out of the choir, thinks that the best thing is to "Drink a fresh glass of water in a hot July night"... Mmm... I'm looking forward to it!*.*But the real battle was between the other two answers, that fought ferociously to reach the first position!Second, 37% of votes, the answer "Scream 'Help! Help! A lion escaped from the zoo!' and hide to watch people's reaction", taken from the famous Italian song "I'm coming there too. No, you're not!" !:-DAND THE WINNER IS... The answer "Free bathroom when you REALLY need it" ... And I think sooner or later everyone can understand how deserved this victory is!;-)Thanks to all those who answered, see you soon!:-D

... Dopo ore ed ore sono riuscita a fare un fiocco che assomiglia ad un fiocco!Grazie a Marzia per gli insegnamenti!... After hours I could make a ribbon that looks like a ribbon!Thanks to Marzia who taught me!

Perché buttare i vecchi bottoni? So che nonna non condividerà luso che ne ho fatto... Ma io li vedo bene anche come orecchini!;-)Why throw away old buttons? I know grandmother won't agree with the way I used them, but I like them as earrings too!;-)

Infine, golosi orecchini in Fimo a forma di ciambella... In un modo o nell'altro finisco sempre a parlare di cibo!XDLast, greedy donut-Fimo clay earrings... In a way or another I always end talking about food!XD

Another day just like the others: you wake up and it's already late, and you run out of home to take the usual bus that will take you to your usual work... And traffic... And people... Uff! All those people!But... Today, among them all, I see something different... A scene I already saw, a scene I already lived, but it's different from what I usually see...A dad, a grandfather, a child, a bike and a goal: riding it without stablizers!And at one point his dad becomes my dad, that street becomes my grandparents garden in the country and beside me I see my older cousin again!He has a gorgeous bike, red with white wheels, and since a long time he can already ride it without stablizers. My bike is red too, but with black wheels. He gave it to me, so I can use it when I'm there.He keeps riding through all the garden to show me how good he is and to make me understand it's not that difficult to mantain balance... He can't wait for me to learn and he tries to help me in every way, teaching me all his secret techniques...Eh... It's easy for you! Every inch I take I keep falling left or right!Let's try first with just one stablizer, so I can rely on it if I need it...Oh, how long is it taking?!Now we'll take off the last stablizer too: it becomes more and more difficult!"Try to start from here, going downhill will be more easy, cos gravity will help you!"They're right... ARGH! Has that vase always been there?! Lucky me, grandmother didn't see me when I hit it!Trying again... How annoying, how does it work?!Trying once again! And again!! And again...!I could do it! I did it! Mum, look!! Dad!!!Finally I can reach my cousin, who's nearly as happy as me!What a satisfying thing! My satisfaction...And the satisfaction of that child I just met, who just learned how to ride his bike without stablizers, with the help of his dad and his grandfather!The usual bus number 490, that will take me to my usual work, is arriving at the usual bus stop...But there's something different today... "A smile - and perhaps a tear" and a "thank you" to that little child who made me remember another nice page of my life!And you? Do you remember the first time you rode your bike without stablizers? :-)

Siamo arrivati a quota mille!Grazie a tutti voi, sia che abbiate lasciato un commento, sia che siate semplicemente passati in silenzio!:-)Per festeggiare voglio fare un regalino virtuale a una ragazza che, modellando la pasta di mais, riesce a creare delle creaturine meravigliose!Il mio è solo un piccolo premiuccio semplice semplice, senza neppure un effetto speciale, però è fatto con affetto e spero che a Sonia piaccia comunque :-$Eccolo qui:Un Mazzolino Arcobaleno per i Topini più dolci del web!Perché ogni volta che li vedo li strapazzerei di coccole! *.*1000 visitors!Thank you, if you left a comment here or even if you just passed and read in silence!:-)To celebrate I'd like to do a little virtual gift to a girl who can create wonderful creatures with clay!This is just a little and very simple award, without even a little special effect, but I made it with love, so I hope Sonia will like it anyway :-$A little Rainbow Bounce of Flowers for the sweetest Mice of the net!Cos everytime I see them I'd hug them so tight! *.*

Another lucky link led me to a really nice blog, Daniela's one, whereI found endless sweetness, big love for our friends, animals, and some very beautiful jewels!And here, until 2 March 2010, you can subscribe to try to win one of the wonderful jewels Daniela herself makes :-)The blog is in Italian, but you don't need words to understand her jewels are beautiful and to partecipate you just need to copy the picture you'll find there (I giardini di marzo in festa - 1° blogcandy di compleanno) :-)I'll try it... And you? ;-)

After a lot of days, I'm back here!Grandmother's operation was ok and now she's doing gymnastic to walk again... Of course she's old and she feels pain, but she's stubborn (as ever) , she keeps talking and moaning all the time (as ever) , and she wants everything, immediately, keeping asking for it until she has it (as ever too) , so I think she's better now:-)Let's keep keeping fingers crossed:-)THANK YOU ALL for the support you gave me, I needed it:-*Meanwhile other things happened too...Do you remember the rose made of beads? I took it at work and, after that, some people asked me to make a bunch of beads flowers to use it as a gift for the director of the press office!:-O Unfortunately I didn't have much time (just a week during which I kept running between home-work-hospital) so we thought about it a bit and decided to make just three flowers: a rose, an orchid and a dahlia:-)I must say the results satisfied me, cos it was the first time I made orchid and dahlia and they all had big success!:-)Next time, anyway, I'll try to not be too fond of my creations...:-PHow did you spend St Valentine's day?^^On 30 January 2010 we celebrated 6 years of life with Birba, since we adopted her! Thank you my little sweet ferocious cat! =^.^=I organised a long weekend in England with my sweet Steve... But I had some thought in my head..."Uhm... With grandmother in hospital and mum with flu... Imagine if I catch flu too and I can't go... And if that same day we even have snow in Rome! Tsk, that's impossible, it will never happen! Ah! Ah! Ah!^^"...

^_^'

Why the hell I don't ever shut up?! XDAnyway...Snow in Rome... Although flu forced me to see it just from the window, it was so great to see it again!After more than twenty years I could see it, touch it, eat it again! If I think about it I still cry of joy!*.*Even Birba was amazed and she kept running from one window to another, all the time, trying to catch one of those white flying things!:-DThe only thing that made me a bit sad, about all that snow, was thinking about Nereo and all those who, like him, don't have a home, including stray animals.So I hope to see him soon, hopefully with the female puppy who could be his new life mate soon:-)Now I'll leave you with a nice sentence that a reporter of our tv said, while an Italian athlete was coming down from a mountain during the winter Olimpic games. After a curve and after a little depression on snow, the athlete lost balance and started flying, luckily without serious damages.Reporter: It seems to me he felt like he didn't have ground under his feet...Indeed...;-)Happy Mardi Grasto everyone![:-) §
